Changing The Mirror - The Devotional

In the world, especially in corporate settings, everybody knows about the CYA policy. Cover your... rear-end. Basically, worldly wisdom tells us that we've got to have our own backs, because no-one else will. In Christ, things are vastly different. In Christ, God Himself has our backs. And that sets us free and gives us the security blanket we need to look out for each other. In fact, God issues the command to us to not take matters into our own hands and try to get revenge when we are wronged. God says He will deal with those matters in His way... and in His time. That's what we don't like. We want to defend ourselves NOW. But in Christ, there's a better way. A way that honors God, that reflects the transformational work that His Spirit is doing in us, and that demonstrates the depth, width, and height of God's love, which the Bible says 'covers a MULTITUDE of sins'. Scripture Romans 12:17-21
